Description
The Hughes and Stiles monuments are two chest tombs located in the churchyard about 21 meters north of the north aisle of the Church of St Martin. They date from the early 19th century and are made of ashlar stone.
The first tomb is the Stiles monument, dating to around 1820, and is similar in style to the nearby Bewley monument. It features baluster angles, a plinth, a base, and a heavy cornice with a reeded edge. The panelled frieze includes rosettes, and the tomb has a stepped ridged cap. There are two plaques on each side with rebated angles, one of which bears the inscription for Henry Stiles, who died in 1817.
The second tomb is the D. Hughes monument, located about 4 meters east of the Stiles monument and dating to around 1830. It has trapeze-shaped plaques on each side, fluted angle piers, a plinth, a moulded base, and a stepped ridged capstone. The inscription commemorates Daniel Hughes of Bremhill Wick.
